Warsmith
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Warsmith is a rank among the Iron Warriors. The title of Warsmith is given to the leader of a Grand Battalion (or Grand Company)[3]. It is similar to the post of Chapter Master, with the Warsmith having overall command of the Grand Company while delegating authority to subordinate Captains commanding regular companies[3]. Warsmiths have been observed retaining command of their Grand Company even after being interred in a Chaos Dreadnought.[1]
Warsmiths are not just military leaders but also masters of logistics, earthworks, engineering, and architecture.[9]
